Ingredients

  • 16 ⅓ ounces - Biscuit Dough
  • ½ cup - Peanut Butter
  • ⅓ cup - Icing Sugar
  • Milk
  • 1 tsp - Vanilla Extract
  • Crushed Peanuts

Instructions

  1. Place a cooling rack over a baking tray and set aside.
  2. Place your frying oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.
  3. Cut out the center of each biscuit and then stretch the biscuit a bit to make the hole and biscuit donut wider-approximately by 1/2".
  4. Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
  5. Set each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.
  6. Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.
  7. Melt the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 25 seconds, stir and reheat as needed.
  8. Sift the powdered sugar into the melted peanut butter, then stir in 1 Tablespoon of milk and the vanilla extract.
